As far as I know, with MWC 3.0 (2.1.7 also), the method for using argc
and argv from a GEM type program is to NOT use the -VGEM flag,
instead, use the -laes -lvdi options as the last part of your cc command:

cc -o myprog.prg main.o mod1.o mod2.o -laes -lvdi

As far as _I_ can tell, argv[0] is undefined, and is NOT standard K&R
from the desktop, but from the MSH shell it's OK (supposed to be the
name of the program being executed).
